In Training



When people ask me my major and I say engineering; almost everyone assumes that I am brilliant in calculus and I can solve calculus 4 questions with my eyes closed. Even worse when I say I am in chemical engineering I have had numerous people ask me if I will be making bombs or if I will be mixing chemicals in the lab. That led me to ask myself what the main take home message was from my entire undergrad career.  The answer came to me when I was working (as a waitress at my part-time job). There was a problem at work, the sugar holders were nearly empty and needed to get filled up however the cover was jammed..no force I applied could open it. I even asked for back up lol. I thought of the problem, I thought of the constraints and I thought of what needed to be done. To make a long story short, I managed to fill up the sugar holders without having to open them. Then is when it hit me, we learn problem solving!!! That is the main take home message from engineering.  You apply all the physics, chemistry, math and sometimes biological rules to solve a problem.

Isn't Christianity the same thing! Being a Christian doesn't make you a walking talking bible. It doesn't make you the world’s best preacher. By walking day today with God, you learn one take home message. The message of the Gospel! When living out your Christian life you apply the Gospel as it is suitable in each situation.  The take home message revolves around love, forgiveness, mercy, reconciliation, redemption and so many more. Don’t’ these things have place in our lives and our hearts? If they don’t yet, we are not getting the main message; we do not understand why Jesus had to come down in flesh to die for us! Sometimes, just spitting out bible verses doesn't make some things better. Living the verses out however makes a huge difference.  Sometimes listening to an anointed preacher is not the only solution, taking the word God gave us to heart and actually doing something about it will be key to solving the problem. “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” James 1:22

Notes
  • Mere theory won’t get you anywhere without action
  • Memorizing the word could be one of the steps for growth but it’s not the only step
  • What was the main take home message of the Gospel? Love God has for us and how we should live accordingly!

Stay Blessed<3

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Spirit of Python: Teaching Angels to Worship

When you are going to hell/trails and you worship is when you can teach the Angels to Worship :) 1) God is Spirit : the Spirit is looking for people who will worship Him in truth and In spirit. *In Truth: the right truth (Jesus : see John 14:6) * In Spirit: even during trails we need to be in the spirit of Joy, Faith, Hope and Love "God is spirit,  and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:24 2) God can make something out of nothing : before God spoke the world into motion it was nothing. He took what was nothing made it into something. He also hung it on nothing, there is nothing that holds the universe in place! “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?      Tell me, if you understand." Job 38:4 How and when can we teach worship to the Angels? Angels Vs. Us Angels 1) Angels have never been nor will they ever be under the course of sin 2) They live in a perfect place (Heaven) 3) The fir...

He is a Better Planner!

I did not mean to take the whole summer off from blogging it just so happen to be that way. Partly due to the numerous things that were changing in my life but more so due to lack of better planning/ time blocking. One of the highlights of my summer was becoming a Mrs. I never knew the weight the pre-fix would carry until I heard someone address me as such. I don't know about you but the Amharic word is, even more, weightier, "ወይዘሮ/weyizero"!. That was one of my life updates. Now that I said that, let's get to the meat and potatoes of my post... I have said before that I am a recovering perfectionist. Today, I stand before you confirming that statement still rings true in my life. I confess, somedays, I face some battles as if I had never before and get frustrated because I haven't gotten perfect at not being a perfectionist! You see the irony...   Tracing back where my want/need to be perfectionist came from, I was surprised to find out that it was linked to ...
